Wolverhampton Metro extension gets go-ahead

Yes - I did it both ways on Thursday, almost had the tram to myself both ways between Pipers Row and the station.
;
I also did the non-preferred platform at Edgbaston - not sure why as although the service was disrupted there wasn't one in the platform nearer the road which I am told is normally used.
;
In fact I was slightly bemused as leaving Wolves the screen was showing a 25 minute gap after the one I caught, but then on arrival at Edgbaston the next was at the normal interval, which is understandable as one may have come into service but then there was a 25 minute gap.

You can't make this stuff up, barely a week after opening, there was a 'signal failure'.

So, did it open? Has anyone seen the trams moving around there?

I saw the reflection of one while I was waiting in stand U in the bus station for the shuttle bus.

Yes. Although running seemingly mostly empty between the station and Pipers Row, they are definitely running.

Er - like I said four posts up!
